The BUSPH Rotaract Club was the
winner of an international malaria fighting competition that
ended on April 15th.
The "Beantown Beatdown of the 'Squiter"
raised over $8000 as part of the Madness
Against Malaria campaign - every dollar to go towards the
purchase and distribution of long-lasting insecticide treated
bed nets for the prevention of malaria in sub-saharan Africa.
The BUSPH Rotaract club would like to thank
all of our friends and supporters who contributed to this effort.
The success of our team is a tribute to all of you, and shows
how simple, targeted interventions can really make a difference.
On Friday, May 4, the team will be awarded
a trophy from one of the Madness Against Malaria campaign's
co-founders, Lance Laifer. There will be an award presentation
in the Talbot Founders Room from 5-6 pm to honor this celebratory
difference the Rotaract Club and its partners have made in the
fight against malaria.
All are welcome to join, please RSVP by
Thursday May 3th to Jessica Kraft at jkraft@bu.edu
to account for all who wish to attend .
